Beautiful Colors

 

Good morning everyone, today’s Image of the Day was captured on Halloween 2010 while walking the Charles River here in Boston.  I had only had the 50D for a short while but was learning to use it rather quickly.  Shots like these are why I am glad I picked up a camera and started shooting in t he first place.  I started out that morning to catch Sunrise pic’s but the sky was overcast so I just walked from the longfellow Bridge to Kenmore Sq. capturing the life on the Charles as I went… Enjoy!

The Charles River and its surrounding banks and bridges will be overflowing this weekend with hundreds of thousands of athletes, coaches, fans and spectators watching the 2012 Head of the Charles Regatta.

The annual regatta, the largest of its kind in the country, is put on each year by the Cambridge Boat Club. The event draws as many as 300,000 to the banks of the Charles River each year, from the starting line near the Boston University Bridge to the finish line near Harvard Square.

Where to Watch
The race course runs three miles upstream from the Boston University Boathouse to Christian Herter Park.

Most spectators find a place to watch between the Anderson and Weeks bridges, along the halfway point of the race.

There are more than 50 races taking place throughout the weekend, with events happening from 8 a.m. through 5 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday.  You can .

If you’re looking for food and drink, you can check out the regatta’s Reunion Village for $5/person. Inside you’ll find beer, wine and food from Boston Burger Company.

Closed Roads
Memorial Drive in Cambridge will be closed from the Cambridge Boat Club to Western Avenue from from 8 a.m. through 7 p.m. all weekend. Other than that, expect traffic along the length of the course.

These eyes...

“Kind hearts are the gardens, Kind thoughts are the roots, Kind words are the flowers, Kind deeds are the fruits, Take care of your garden, And keep out the weeds, Fill it with SUNSHINE, Kind words and kind deeds” ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Southern New England Womans Expo

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

So I was asked to come help put into photos an amazing day in Lincoln, RI on Sunday.  I have helped out the lovely Pat Paolino Cruz before but when I arrived to find the line out, down and around the corner of the Twin River Casino it was quite a sight.  The Expo went from 11-5 but I think that with what Pat and her partner had helped put together everyone had waited with baited breath to get there and see the glorious things, fashions and cosmetics that vendors had put together for this amazing event.

There were three fashion shows, with two designer lines that were brought out for the ladies and let’s just say wow is the only word that came to mind as the models from The beauty within modeling agency took the stage, the agency is run by Pam Masucci and her wonderful staff.  The makeup and hair were done by Gloss and Glamour run by Kristen Marrah and her fine staff as well,  First line was created by Maria Del Carmen Mercado .

And the later show was designed by A Boston based designer who’s studio is in Cambridge, but loves to spend time in Rhode Island to share his wears. His name is Samuel Vartan.

For most of the afternoon the stage was filled with local businesses like golds gym and exercise routines like zumba by Fitworld who rocked the stage, for who doesn’t want to get in shape for summer..  I tried to capture the atmosphere and attitude of the day and it was a wonderful experience had by all as I could tell.  Anthony and Pat  make a great team producing this huge event.  Also, to add to her ” to do” list,  Pat really out did herself this year and I believe her cosmetics line is the wonderful addition to the events she puts together now.  She also Publishes  her own magazine that maybe you have come across in your travels?  It is called Southern New England Woman magazine if you haven’t checked it out you should it is helped along by the Production Manager Tony Aguilar .

As I left for the afternoon I was filled with joy and more passion for what I love to do and that is to tell a story about the moments shared that I get to capture and I will leave it up to all of you who read this to figure that out, hope you enjoy the work and the beautiful moments of the expo.

There were six photographers that  joined in the great day as well, you may know some of them.   Robert Dosdourian who owns Ocean State Photography ,  Will Muggle who owns Muggle Photography, and  Mark Oulette who owns Oulette Photography.

Spring on Boston Harbor 

I was out looking for employment in the city for the bills don’t pay themselves no matter how much we would like them to.  I have my camera and it helps tell a story of my view of this great city we live in.  Hopefully soon I can provide myself a good living with my Canon 50d but for now I just speak through my 28-135 Canon ultrasonic with macro and image stabilizer, as well as my Canon 50mm 1.8 lens.  I hope my view of the world not only entertains you but helps you feel the beauty of life as well.
